British warship to help French aircraft against IS

Britain’s royal navy warship HMS Defender will support the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in the fight against the Islamic State terrorist group, the British Ministry of Defence announced on Wednesday.

The ship will provide air defence cover for the French carrier to tackle IS, also known as IS, according to the ministry.

IS claimed responsibility for a series of terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13 that killed at least 129 people.

The warship is “capable of carrying out a wide range of operations, including anti-piracy and anti-smuggling activities, disaster relief work and surveillance operations as well as high intensity warfare,” the ministry noted.

HMS Defender is the fifth of the British Royal Navy’s six Type 45 Destroyers.
